Hi Sue, welcome to the forum. I'm a long-term sufferer from PSSD like yourself (started taking prozac aged 17 and came off when I was 22, I'm 28 now). I just saw that you are considering taking Welbutrin. I trailed this two years ago and it proved to be an absolute disaster. Much of my sexual...

Sounds really encouraging. How much liquorice root are you taking?

EllaOne is just the morning after pill Ulipristal acetate. You can find it online quite easily or ask a girlfriend to get one on prescription. I was wondering where you got your RU, I the website I tried didn't work.

Jack how are you measuring out your RU? I have just ordered one pill but I don't think the scales I have will be sensitive enough to measure small doses. Also - which progesterone cream are you using? Thanks

It's interesting you mention the difference between CSF and blood plasma because I have been wondering why we don't all try and test our CSF neurosterid levels. Is it possible to do so with a lumbar puncture?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input, will look into all of this

Hi guys. I'm just wondering if I'm anyone has any advice about sorting histamine problems. I was on Prozac for 4 years and i now understand that all SSRIs mess with histamine in a big way. Since the first year.on them I have had blocked sinuses/pressure. I know there is a lot.out there...

Thanks for doing this thread, very informative, I am definitely in freeze mode

Would someone explain the idea behind high dose progesterone? Got the theory with Ru & prog but not too sure about the aim of this approach.

I think the idea is that we have high progesterone and low progesterone receptor density. Ru is a progesterone antagonist so it blocks/clears progesterone around the receptor. This is hopefully going to resensitise the progesterone receptors and possibly increase their density. However, once...

Thanks Raven, I'll look out for your updates, wishing you luck. I'm sorting out my hair test then will jump on a similar protocol

Hi Raven. Great to see you are seeing some.improvements. Would you be able to clarify exactly what you are taking? I'm PSSD as well, have awful brain fog, emotional numbing, and all the classic sexual sides as well as bad fatigue from sugar so would be helpful to know! Thanks

Thanks Barbaar, have taken first dose so will update in 2/3 weeks

Thanks raven, I'll give it a try and report back

Does anyone have any input on whether saffron is worth supplementing to help alleviate symptoms of PSSD?

Yeah that was my understanding I'm just unsure how or why. And what that would mean post ssri. I read that SSRIs initially raise Allo. But I feel that this isn't sustainable over months/years and I feel I had low Allo symptoms after a year, social numbness and emotional dysfunction etc. Maybe if...

Does anyone know how this relates to ssri's? Are the progestins too?

How do you reckon Ella's action would differ between someone with high progesterone and someone with very low progesterone. My understanding is that it is both an agonist and antagonist whereas RU is a straight up antagonist?

Within a couple of hours of taking the protocol I felt more relaxed and felt mild surges of libido which lessened but remained for the next three days. My concentration improved and I didn't need to take a sleeping pill for the next 3/4 days and didn't wake up at 4am which I usually do. My...

Yeah mine only got going once I had stopped. It kept going for a good few months but I moved onto zinc, histidine, cysteine, magnesium and magnese last week and it stopped pretty much straight away. I added potassium a few days in and that certainly didn't make anything worse. Ive stopped taking...
